Curl up and enjoy “minatamis na saging” (sweetened banana), a Filipino dessert made with chopped saba bananas cooked in coconut milk, sugar, and water. Some recipes also add a little salt and pandan leaf or vanilla extract. Other ingredients may be added too, such as sweet potato, sago, or fruits like jackfruit. It is commonly enjoyed as a merienda or comforting home-style treat, especially when served warm or alongside other sweets. It can be eaten on its own or used as an ingredient in other desserts, notably halo-halo.
